(Root-Beer Man) Great report! Glad to see someone else agrees with me about Gus's chicken. On our next trip to Memphis we're going to try Uncle Lou's Chicken, instead. See if it's better.<br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m745894.ashxFindPost/746094Mon, 08 Jul 2013 16:36:59 GMTRe:In and around down South......a 2 week journey! (bigfatsquirrel) I also had a similar experience at Willie Mae's. Though&nbsp; the smaller bird yielded&nbsp; tender meat,&nbsp; I was not a fan. Stroud's and Loveless produced a less greasy, crunchy, more flavorful entree. The butter beans, on the other hand, were to die for.<br> I can't wait to go to Payne's and the Brick Pit. FYI&nbsp; -You can order barbeque sauce from Dreamland...they ship it.<br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m745894.ashxFindPost/746049Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:39:59 GMTRe:In and around down South......a 2 week journey!

(strongy78) TinTin- Thanks for the read. &nbsp;I did get a chicken breast on its own. &nbsp;I agree with you that it WAS better than the strips but I still left expecting something better. &nbsp;I would try it again though if I was ever back in Memphis just to make sure my taste buds weren't out of whack ;-). &nbsp;Hopefully I caught them on an off day or something. &nbsp;Wasn't bad by any means, just not "move to Memphis" good like I had expected.<br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m745894.ashxFindPost/746028Mon, 08 Jul 2013 02:32:54 GMTRe:In and around down South......a 2 week journey!

(TnTinCT) Great report and pics! Saw your note on Gus's chicken in Memphis, noted you got the chicken strips. I have to say the chicken on the bone was some of the best I've ever had. My sister got the strips (has a phobia of bone in chicken) and they weren't nearly as good as the bone in. Really a completely different experience, I wouldn't take them off your list yet!<br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m745894.ashxFindPost/746013Sun, 07 Jul 2013 21:10:22 GMTRe:In and around down South......a 2 week journey! (strongy78) @CajunKing- You ain't lying! &nbsp;That heat/humidity is a killer! &nbsp;It was 98 and humid the first weekend in New Orleans. &nbsp;Wow! &nbsp;I'm totally not used to the humidity. &nbsp;I can deal with the heat and am quite used to it living out in East County outside of San Diego but the humidity is something else. &nbsp;One cool thing about the weather though was that &nbsp;I did get to see an amazing thunder and lightning storm my last night in Alabama. &nbsp;Never seen anything like it in my life. &nbsp;The sky was almost constantly lit up there was so much lightning. &nbsp;I stood out under an awning getting pelted with rain for a good 20 minutes just to watch it. &nbsp;It was beautiful...just like the &nbsp;Alabama and Louisiana. &nbsp;I met some super nice people along my travels that showed the utmost Southern Hospitality. I hope to return someday down the road. &nbsp;<br> <br>Thanks again to everyone that read my report. &nbsp;Pictures of good food make the world go round ;-) ....or at least make you dream better at night ;-). &nbsp;<br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m745894.ashxFindPost/746011Sun, 07 Jul 2013 21:04:07 GMTRe:In and around down South......a 2 week journey!
